I took Astro 5 with Professor Coroniti. I want to start off by saying Ferdinand is a nice guy. The class however was a blood bath. The tests are ridiculously hard and require a good background in physics and math. I mistook this for a good GE because Astro 5 with Mclean is easy but this class was terrible. I took this class as a third year with 3.9 GPA and got a C on it. Avoid at all costs !
